    Since June 2021, Kreativ-Transfer II has been funding trips to international fairs and festivals as well as strategic projects for international marketing, networking and professionalisation.

    The Grantees get-together offered the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues from different sectors in a relaxed atmosphere: about visits to fairs and travel experiences, about opportunities and challenges of international distribution, about networking opportunities and marketing ideas.

    At the same time, there was the chance to share experiences and feedback on the funding programme and to discuss suggestions for improvement and visions.

    In addition to artists, producers, gallery owners, project space operators and game developers who have travelled and implemented strategic projects with the support of the programme, cooperation partners and creative transfer jurors were invited to join the discussion.

  • Workshop: Green Mobility. How we (can) network more sustainably

    Workshop: Green Mobility. How we (can) network more sustainably

    17th & 18th May 2022 | online

    Kreativ-Transfer aims to enhance the international visibility of art and culture made in Germany. To achieve this goal, the program supports international marketing and networking activities. It funds travel to international fairs and festivals, supports digital marketing efforts, and offers digital as well as analog exchange formats such as international get-togethers and networking meetings.

    However, we are all aware that our marketing and networking activities, whether physical or digital, have an environmental impact and contribute to the global climate crisis.

    A year ago, as part of our cross-sector workshop on Green Mobility, we already addressed the question of how to reconcile environmentally sustainable practices with international networking. We discussed the impact of our individual travel behaviour, responsible mobility management, and concrete courses of action.

    Building on that, we joined forces with various experts to re-examine how we can network in a more sustainable manner. Additionally, we had the opportunity to explore the role of networking because we need to unite to effect change together.

    „How to … Reisekostenabrechnung?” (How to... travel expense accounting?)

    17 February 2022 | 10.00 - 12.00 CET | online

    Experts: Béla Bisom and Neele Renzland from transmissions
    Language: mainly in German, questions and comments in English are welcome

    Target group:   
    The workshop „How to… Reisekostenabrechnung?" was aimed at all interested creatives in the cultural and creative industries who (have to) deal with travel expense accounting according to the Federal Travel Expenses Act (BRKG). In particular, the following are addressed: game developers, representatives of galleries, project spaces and producer galleries as well as artists and producers in the performing arts.

    If travel is funded by Kreativ-Transfer or other federal funds, the regulations of the Federal Travel Expenses Act (BRKG) must be taken into account. The application is not witchcraft, but questions, uncertainties and mistakes often arise, which we want to answer or eliminate in this concise workshop: How does a correct calculation of (foreign) daily allowances look like, taking into account arrival and departure days and reductions due to free meals or breakfast in the hotel? How high is the overnight allowance in Germany? Can overnight stays in private accommodation, e.g. with acquaintances, be deducted? Under what conditions can a private stay be connected to a subsidised trip? How can a trip by car be accounted for - and is the reimbursement of taxi costs possible?

    Neele Renzland and Béla Bisom from transmissions gave an introduction to the regulations of the Federal Travel Expenses Act (BRKG) and shared important basic information that is necessary for a complete and correct travel expense claim. They addressed typical mistakes in the application and answered individual questions about (foreign) per diems, overnight allowance regulations, receipt retention obligations, mileage allowances & Co.

But above all, we looked to the future. Together with Kreativ-Transfer grantees, funders, cooperation partners, jurors and other interested parties, we discussed various questions and challenges relating to international networking.
    We also provided information on the Creative Transfer II programme and offered the opportunity to exchange ideas with players in the cultural and creative industries.

    As a programme that primarily supports travel to international trade fairs and festivals and aims to facilitate international networking and cooperation, we want to and must dedicate ourselves to the topic of green mobility.
    Together with Thorsten Koska | Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy gGmbH, Fine Stammnitz | Green Touring Network and actors from the fields of games, visual arts and performing arts, we tackled the topic and discussed individual options for action. And we did not ignore the different socio-economic framework conditions.

    29 April 2021 | Review Kreativ-Transfer – a pilot programme
    Kreativ-Transfer was launched at the beginning of 2019 with the aim of strengthening the international networking and visibility of players in the cultural and creative industries - in the performing arts, visual arts and games - on the international market. The promotion of travel to international trade fairs, festivals and platforms was a central component of the programme. Until the pandemic made travelling and attending events almost impossible. With the alternative funding of ‘international networking and professionalisation projects’, the programme endeavoured to continue supporting the international networking activities of those involved.

    In addition, Kreativ-Transfer invited participants to various - analogue and digital - exchange and networking meetings and workshops.
    The first funding period of the programme ended in April 2021. We have therefore invited you to look back on more than two years of Kreativ-Transfer together, share your experiences and get your feedback.
